I got a new box with a 256 Nvidia 6800-Ive seen a few posts about problems with Nvidia drivers, but they address old cards...anyone running this card-It smokes everything on the market and Im assuming Ill be ok with AH

BTW its been a long time since Ive seen some of these names-pyro, fencer and HiTech

maybe 13 years, Im assuming, even with the new skins, tech, and models that bnZ has not changed too much hehe

Ill be on in a few days-looking for dweebs (seein one in t he mirror of course) soon as i get my ch stick and pedals in the mail

First off, 6800 doesn't smoke everything on the market. Its actually a 1yr old alrdy. U can use the latest drivers with it. they work fine. I using a 7800GS 256 meg card right now with the latest drivers.

I use the 6800 GT 256 and it rocks.

Same. 7800 has lots of promise, still looks a little buggy to me. It takes em about a year to work all the kinks out of the drivers anymore lol.

I like my 6800.

heres the deal I went with the 1024 texture without dwnloading the high res package and got some problems DOH----so instead of going 1024 tex I went to the 500 setting and everything seems flawless

do you guys run the 1024 text ? I have a gig ram and wondering if it makes all that much diff anyways when stuff flys by you-im at 75 fps and not sure If my eye is even good enough to notice the details the extra settings would bring

btw is fencer still running in that stang LOL?

I cant run 1024 textures either, but thats more a CPU problem than a video card problem. 512 is fine with me, I get to turn up alot of detail I'd have to live without if I went with the high rez textures.

I run everything full up, 1024 texture and hi rez, but I also have 2 gig RAM and still have 150+ FPS. But I also have a 64 bit CPU.

I running 1024 hires textures at 1280x1024x32bit at 8xAA. I get 65-75fps. 75 being max because of refresh rate. If I turn vertical zync off I get 150+ fps.
